The roughly 1.8-mile race started Saturday at Lover's Point and headed east on Oceanview Boulevard to Eardley where runners turned around and headed back to Lover's Point for the big finish.

"I don't really practice for these," said overall winner Elijah Taurke. "I just kind of run them, and I'm a good runner."

All of the participants received an aquatic-themed T-shirt and a runner's medallion. The run was only $5 for kids 5 to 17 years old and $20 for adults. About 2,500 kids, parents and teachers showed up for the race.

After the race, kids had a chance to participate in family activities at Jewell Park.
